Hi~! All!
You can feel the heat in the afternoon already~.
Yeah! Spring seems to have passed us by and now it is officially summer again~!
The end of May and and early June already feels like summer. You can see the changes in attire of the pedestrians all wearing shorts~!
Let’s go to the best place “Inje”in Gangwondo ,korea to enjoy this sweltering heat by going on an exciting white-water rafting trip to cool ourselves off in this hot and humid weather~!
There is a wonderfully clear and cool river from the waters from Seoraksan mountain area that has etched a beautiful valley where we can enjoy white-water rafting~!
A rafting boat can hold 10 people, so it will be a good opportunity to make new friends and work together as a team to stay afloat~!
The ride will be for 6~7 whole kilometers which can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on how fast the water is flowing on the day of our adventure~!
You will be given a helmet and a life jacket and be directed by an instructor to paddle so that we can have a safe journey. Some parts of the river is fast, but the instructor will make sure of your safety. Everyone can enjoy this rafting event~!
This area is becoming more and more popular, so there are ATV’s available for rent along with a paintball field. So, we can arrange for groups to challenge one another if they want~! We will hide and seek and shoot in the forest, so it will be a perfect prelude to cleaning up and getting wet while river rafting~!
Zip-lining and bungee jumping is also available. The Seoul Hiking Group has gone there 5 years in a row, so we can get a very special deal~!
Let’s go as a group~! Ankle-braced bungee jumping into the river is the highest in Korea at 63 meters. (The Chungju Lake bungee jump is very similar at 62 meters.)
If you’re not interested in the rafting, you can hike along the river. There is a bridge you can cross the river with that will take you to a path that runs along the river. Make sure you bring a mat so that you can break during your hike to enjoy a peaceful time with mother nature. There’s even a snack bar along the way to fill your stomach with or you can simply drink beers along the way~!
